 Actor John Dumelo

He wrote ;

John Jnr @johnd_jnr I’m glad you have finally arrived. It’s been months, weeks, days and hours of waiting…..You look just like we imagined. Infectious smile, bright eyes, curly hair and chocolate skin.
Before I get all emotional and write a whole book, lemme let you have these few words to guide you.
You can do anything you want and be whoever you want to be just like how my dad allowed me to explore….
Never give up. Always aspire to be better and do better than before.
Be a beacon of kindness and truth in this world.

Don’t have hate in your heart or carry grudges. It is not worth the time and effort it takes when there are so many things in this world to enjoy and love.

Do not let others influence who you choose to be, both as a person and in a career, because it is not their life to live, it is yours and it is the most beautiful thing.

Think outside the box JJ. Be a risk taker just like I am and don’t be afraid to fail. Failure gives you experience. Use that experience to conquer the world.
Let God be your best friend and let Him guide your steps.

I will start reading the Bible to you soon and that’s when you will understand how mysterious God works.
And one last thing….I really don’t know how to change diapers, so please don’t laugh when that’s happening.

I want to be better than my father….and I want you to be greater than me.
Love, John Setor Dumelo, your Dad.

Former Ekiti governor, Ayodele Fayose arrives EFCC office in funny T-Shirt

Former Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose kept to his word of coming to EFCC office after the anti-graft agency invited him over for questioning.

However one of the highlight of his arrival at EFCC office, was the T-shirt he wore. The inscription on the T-shirt reads ‘EFCC I’m here’. Fayose was accompanied to the anti-graft agency’s office by Governor Nyesom Wike and some of his supporters.

Here are more photos below;

Recall that during a farewell dinner organised for him by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Fayose said he will not beg the anti-graft agency for bail. The governor said he will intensify his criticism of President Muhammadu Buhari and the All Progressives Congress (APC).

“I will be there on Tuesday. I am not begging for any bail. It is up to them. If they want me, they should just give me a bed. I have done my bed bedclothes, I have done my pillowcase, I have my English and Yoruba bibles,” Fayose said.

“I am prepared for them. Nobody should worry about me. Only cowards die many times before their deaths.

“Tell them at the villa. My name is Ayo Fayose. My name is Peter the rock. Let me say to you that by the grace of God, I will be at the EFCC by 1pm on Tuesday. I am not a coward, never. Let it be said to them that today is their own and tomorrow is our own. I am coming

“As soon as I leave the EFCC I will talk more than what I have said before. There is no way a Buhari will match an Atiku when you put the two of them side by side, comment by comment, clarity by clarity of tongue.”

Fayose had on Monday said despite his promise to present himself at the EFCC office, there were plans to invade his residence.

“It is known to the public that I offered to make myself available at the EFCC office today.However, as I write,there are strange movements around my residence & I’m aware of planned invasion any moment from now. Despite this, I’ll be at the commission’s office tomorrow as promised,” he wrote on Twitter.

32-year-old Nigerian man married to 50-year-old Russian woman, dies of massive heart attack at a club

Gabriel Segun Ajayi, a 32-year-old Nigerian married to a 50-year-old Russian woman died of a massive heart attack at a dance club last Friday night, October 12, in the city of Cherepovets, about 500 km north of Moscow.

Russian investigators have launched a preliminary probe into reports of Ajayi’s death, saying that the cause of death would be determined after a forensic examination.

Earlier, the official portal of the city of Cherepovets, Russia reported that Ajayi had died of a heart attack at a local nightclub.

The Nigerian Embassy in Moscow said that it is looking into reports about the Nigerian national’s death.

Ajayi and his wife, rural Vologda region resident Natalia Vedenina, had earlier captured the attention of Russian daytime talk shows with their romance, due both to the 18 year age difference between them and the unusual story of a reported Nigerian prince agreeing to move to rural Russia to be with his wife.

Ajayi met Natalia on the internet in 2012, with neither speaking the other’s language; they communicated through an online translator.

Natalia’s 22-year-old eldest son was apprehensive at first, concerned that the romance may have been some sort of scam.

However, Gabriel turned out to be real, and in 2016, Natalya flew to Nigeria, where Ajayi proposed. After marrying, the couple moved to Russia, and in 2017, Natalia gave birth to twin boys.

After coming to Russia, Ajayi began learning the language and started working as a tractor driver and local IT specialist.

“I would spend days on the internet, and wasn’t phased by the color of his skin or his age, nor the fact that he was from a completely different culture,” Natalyia said in a talk show.”

“The more I got to know him, the more I realized that this was my man, who could feel and understand me, how I feel, even without words.”

Natalyia was devastated by the news of her husband’s death.

“Gabriel had a massive heart attack, he collapsed and died. He wasn’t on any medications. My husband didn’t have any complaints about his heart. I was informed two hours after it happened…Our children are just babies –they are just a year old, they don’t understand anything yet,” she said.

Ajayi will be buried in the city of Cherepovets to be closer to his widow and his children. His mother lives with the rest of the family in a nearby village, and is assisting in nursing the children.

The rest of Ajayi’s family aren’t likely to attend the funeral due to the distance and difficulties in obtaining a visa on such a short notice, according to local media.

“Muhammad Buhari won all the last three presidential elections in Nigeria but he was rigged out” – Fmr US Ambassador to Nigeria, John Campbell says

Former US Ambassador to Nigeria, John Campbell, has in a recent interview with Channels TV, said from his investigations while in Nigeria, discovered that President Buhari won the last three presidential elections but he was rigged out of the elections.

Campbell first made the allegation in his recently released book, “Nigeria, What everyone needs to know“.

John Campbell

When asked in the interview how he arrived at the conclusion that Buhari won three times but was rigged out, Campbell said,

“I arrived at that conclusion by talking to people who were intimately connected with the entire process that includes Individuals, NGOs, NGOs that are foreign based and Nigeria based.

I think the rigging took place not so much at the polling units but at the places where the results from the polling units were brought together”.

Drake and Rihanna, 30, have quite a long, albeit secret, romantic history. It all started in 2005 at a Toronto diner, where Rihanna shot the music video for her debut single “Pon de Replay.” Over the next couple of years, the two would remain off-and-on again until about 2016.

Falana urged young Nigerians to get organised so that the sky would be their starting point.

”It is dastardly, ungodly and inhuman” – FG condemns execution of aide worker, Hauwa Leman by Boko Haram

The Federal Government has stated that it is shocked and saddened at the killing of another aid worker by Boko Haram on Monday, 15th of October, 2018 despite the actions taken by the government and the widespread appeal to save the young woman.

In a statement issued in London on Monday, the Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, described the killing as ‘dastardly, inhuman and ungodly’, saying nothing can justify the shedding of the blood of innocent people.

FG condemns execution

He commiserated with the family of the aid worker, and said the Federal Government did all within its powers to save her life.

”It is very unfortunate that it has come to this. Before and after the deadline issued by her abductors, the Federal Government did everything any responsible government should do to save the aid worker. As we have been doing since these young women were abducted, we kept the line of negotiations open all through. In all the negotiations, we acted in the best interest of the women and the country as a whole. We are deeply pained by this killing, just like we were by the recent killing of the first aid worker. However, we will keep the negotiations open and continue to work to free the innocent women who remain in the custody of their abductors,” the Minister said.

He thanked all the friendly governments that have continued to work with Nigeria for the safe release of the abducted women, and the clerics across religious lines who have been pleading for their release.

My wife was impregnated by her lover five months after having a baby – Husband

An Islamic teacher, Abdulrazak Adeniyi, has accused his wife, Barakat, of child abandonment and adultery, sequel to which he has sued for divorce.

Abdulrazak narrated to the court: “Just five months after Barakat gave birth to our first child, I discovered that she stopped breastfeeding the baby without notifying me.

“Within a twinkle of an eye, Barakat’s ex-lover started visiting her in my own home, especially anytime I was not around.

“Shortly, Barakat became pregnant and she shamefully abandoned my house because I had stopped making love with her by then.

“This is the reason the baby started feeding on custard and milk, which I usually provide.

“In fact, anytime I went to give Barakat money for the baby’s feeding, I usually see her secret lover in the same room with her.

“Therefore, Barakat is a pathological liar for branding me as irresponsible.

“I want to pray this honourable court to give me custody of the baby because I am capable of taking care of him in my school,” Abdulrazak said.

Earlier, Barakat, in her petition, had accused her husband of gross irresponsibility.

Barakat, a petty trader, told the court that her husband no longer loved her.

“My lord, Abdulrazak is such a wicked husband who doesn’t care about what happens to me and our child.

“For two weeks, he may not even ask about the baby’s welfare,” Barakat told the court.

The Mapo Customary Court in Ibadan, where the case was determined on Monday, eventually dissolved the two-year marriage between Barakat and Abdulrazak over acts of infidelity and irresponsibility.

The court’s President, Suleiman Apanpa, held that the court took its decision in consonance with the wish and resolution of both parties, Barakat and Abdulrazak.

Apanpa held that, “In the interest of peace and tranquility, the union between Bakarat and Adulrazak has ceased to be.

“Custody of the one-and-a-half year-old child of the union is awarded to Barakat, while Abdulrazak shall pay a monthly allowance of N5,000 for the child’s upkeep.

“In addition, Abdulrazak is directed to give adequate attention to the child’s education and general welfare,” Apanpa said.

Quavo claims he slept with Nicki Minaj on new track ‘Huncho Dreams’

HipHop rapper, Quavo who recently released his album “Quavo Huncho” has got fans thinking after he made claims that he slept with queen of HipHop, Nicki Minaj.

The rapper made the claim in “Huncho Dreams” which is an obvious response to Nicki Minaj’s “Barbie Dreams” – in her song, Nicki jokes about sleeping with rappers in the industry.

Quavo claims

She says of Quavo:

“Somebody go and make sure Karrueche okay though / I heard she think I’m tryna give the coochie to Quavo.”

Now, Quavo has hit back at Nicki by responding with an entire song dedicated to her.

“Made her scream (Scream) / Chanel, I bought her two of ’em / You can check IG (Hey, IG) / ‘Cause when she post, it go up (Go)”

He also references Nicki Minaj being upset with him over not defending her to Cardi B over the whole “Motorsport” fiasco.

“She said I hurt her feelings 52 times (Two) / Call up queen (Nicki) / The queen can’t flex on a young bull (Flex).”

Quavo references he and Nicki’s duet, “She For Keeps”.

“Is she for keeps? (For keeps) / Only if she come with two of ’em (Two)”

Quavo claims

He says that he’s not trying to wife Nicki and implies that the two have had sex.

“Yeah, I be snipin’ (Snipe, snipe) / I can’t be wifin’ (Nah, no wife) / I know she feisty (Feisty, feisty)”

He refers to himself as video game character Bison from Street Fighter. Nicki often refers herself to Street Fighter character Chun Li.

“I’m Huncho Bison (Huncho Bison) / She treat me righteous (Righteous, righteous) / Nigga don’t mean to brag (No) / I be tryin’ to keep it cool, but I sniped yo’ ass (Swear).”

He also references Nicki Minaj and Takashi 69’s “FeFe”

“No “FEFE,” I skeet-skeet (“FEFE”) on yo’ face ass (Face ass) / Called up Huncho to come tap that ass (Swear) / Pull up on you, autotune when I grip that ass (Skeet, skeet) / Pullin’ on yo’ weave, ‘cross the room when I pipe that ass (Pipe it).”

He does however finish with an apology:

‘if I hurt your feelings, I am truly sorry / Straight out the jungle, no safari,’ — referencing Nicki’s ex, Safaree Samuels.

But while playing the song at his listening session, Quavo had a Nicki Minaj impersonator to re-enact Nicki’s reaction to his Chanel bag gift.
